How would it have looked to the Shiki who couldn't see?

The magus writes in the air with her cigarette flame. The writing is reflected on the corpse as if it were being projected.

The far-off country composed only of straight lines, the engraved sorcery of a far-off world. The circuit called Rune moves and in an instant --- the body of the corpse lying collapsed on the ground begins to burn.

"--- it's too weak with just the F in the air." The magus mumbles.

The flame covered corpse slowly stands up.

Somehow moving with two completely broken legs the corpse drags itself towards Shiki as if moving by muscle power alone.

The flames soon go out.

"Oi --- you charlatan."

"Don't shout like that. It's very difficult to destroy something the size of a human. A living person is finished if you just burn the heart, but you can't do that with the living dead. They are dead so it doesn't matter whether they lose a head of an arm. You realize that you can't get rid of a human itself with something that has the firepower of a gun right? To stop that thing you would have to bring the firepower of a crematorium --- or a monk of high moral integrity."
